Versiones alternativas

Original DVD release is largely devoid of bonus features, but does include a John Hughes commentary. The later "Bueller...Bueller Edition" adds in many more bonus features, but omits the earlier Hughes commentary.

All VHS versions contain a plastered Paramount logo depending on the year the print was released. However all DVD and Blu-ray versions restore the original logo.

When Jeanie is standing against the wall at one end of the school's hallways and thinking about whether or not if he's a bad guy, which she then says out loud "Screw him", in TV airings she says "Shred him" instead, due to the word "screw" in slang referring to sexual intercourse or as substitute for the F-bomb.

While Jeanie is at the police station, one of her lines she tells the boy "Blow yourself". In TV airings, she says "Control yourself" instead; since the word "blow" in slang refers to oral sex.

When Jeanie Bueller talks into the intercom ordering Mr. Rooney to leave the house, her line about having a scorching case of herpes is cut out from many TV airings.

In TV airings, when the scene cuts to the Ferrari mounted on bricks in Cameron's family's garage and being put in reverse to clock the miles, the conversation about the three changing out of their clothes to swim in the pool is cut out and immediately goes to Cameron checking on the car and noticing the miles not retracting.

When Mr. Rooney notices his car is being towed away for being parked illegally next to a fire hydrant, he shouts "YOU IDIOT!" instead of "YOU SHITHEAD!" in the TV airings.

In TV airings, when Jeanie talks to the boy in the police station about her brother Ferris ditching school, she refers to the latter as a "snot-puppy" instead of "shithead".

The original theatrical trailer contains some scenes and some footage removed from the final version: Jeanie in the locker room, Ferris's two additional younger siblings, and a few lines and footage removed from the final version. These can be found in the original transcript.

In the theatrical version, Ferris says "Cameron's so tight, that if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass, in two weeks you would have a diamond." In the TV version, he says "Cameron's so tight, that if you stuck a lump of coal in his fist, in two weeks you would have a diamond."

A line in the theatrical version is "The man could squash my nuts into oblivion." The TV version replaces "nuts" with a *very* badly-overdubbed "brains."

In the TV Version, Cameron's "Piece of Shit" car is referred to by Ferris as a "Piece of Tin".

Two different versions of the closing credits exist. On the widescreen DVD, the scene of Rooney getting picked up by the bus runs, split-screened, next to credits over a black field. On the full-frame NTSC laserdisc, Rooney's scene is in full-frame, with the credits chyroned over the lower quarter of the screen.
